Hmm, dont know if there are really any usual things specific to saxos.

Get an MOT checklist off the web n just have a run over everything to make sure u dont have to spend silly extras.

I suppose the wiperblades on saxos are a bit naff, make sure urs aint ripped. if you have an aftermarket exhaust make sure the catalytic converter is present & make sure you have no warning lights on the dashboard :y:

Make sure all your lights are working.. panel boards at the back, check all your lights and bulbs, that's quite a big one.. and if your screen wash holes are blocked, un-block them because they will charge you if they have to do it, ive learnt this from my own experience lol, charged me £2 extra for it!

If you've got mods, make sure they dont result in failure.

decatted, for instance
Or after market rear lights with no reflectors.
